Accrington Stanley's managing director Robert Heys has been charged with a number of betting offences by the Football Association.

The FA's rules prohibit players or officials betting on any matches in competitions with which their club is involved.

Heys, who has been at the Sky Bet League Two club for more than 10 years, has been charged with alleged breaches of FA rules in relation to a number of betting offences and has until August 9 to respond to the charges.
